Malvin, It is clearly broken,not 3 part. The marks show it was proofed for shot(S),is choked (W),and was given a view proof(U)which is a close inspection. The chamber is 16ga,65mm and the barrel is 16 ga ahead of the chamber. The rifle proofs are not clear, but it has already been IDed as 6.5x52R aka 25-35 Winchester. Mike

I suspect that forend could be duplicated off the broken half relatively easily by someone with good skills and a good duplicator, and then the fitting and inletting done. It'll cost, but with the irons in hand it's not nearly as bad as, say, an entirely missing forend.

Does choked W mean full choke? I appreciate all the responses I am getting. Thanks Malvin

Malvin, It just means it is choked,but as a general rule they are very "tight" and some use spreader loads or open up the choke.I just showed (W)above to indicate which mark showed it was choked,not the degree of choke. Mike

"W" stands for "Würgebohrung", which means "choke". In the case of a side by side double shotgun, the right barrel, which is controlled by the front trigger as a rule, is more open, the left barrel tighter. In the case of a 16 gauge barrel, the minimum bore measurement at the muzzle 16.80mm, the maximum 17.20 mm.
Determining the degree of choke cannot reliably be determined by measuring the bore. The only reliable method involves shooting the gun at a patterning board and counting the shot inside a 30" circle from various ranges.
A full choke should put the entire shot pattern inside the 30" circle at 30 yards, A 1/2, or modified choke should place 83% of the shot in the circle and an improved cylinder should achieve 72%. A one ounce charge of number 8 shot contains 450 pellets.

Xausa, I'm glad you said it, I cringe whenever others start arguing about choke constriction.Also choke may change with change of load. Mike

Were there any odd marks other than the German ones? The frame looks to be an Austrian sourced one? What marks were on the frame?
Kind Regards,

That shouldn't be too tough. Somebody like the stock doctor or someone that stock double barrel shotguns should be able to fix or replace that. You have enough remaining wood to be able to match the original, you might even have enough wood for a piece to be added and the crack repaired depending on whether you want it restored or nicely use able.
Sorry about the late post my computer didn't show a second page, I was surprised when I came back to see a second page and all is taken care of already. Enjoy that combo, they are fun to hunt with. Great coyote rig also.
